Why is it?
When you set yourself a budget price.
you go completely past it
i've virtually blown my budget for my 3dr build and i've hardly bought anything.
But what i have bought is pretty damn special

I guess that will depend on the offset of you wheels and that will depend on how you wish to set it up ! Is this a track car or a road car , same old question , but you can only build one of the above !

Kev, yes im starting from a shell.
The shell is not a new shell, its a stripped down 3dr shell ready for restoration.
Reason im doing it, is because im fussy and i like everything perfect
Reason im doing a 3dr is beacuse i've always wanted one since i was young
and it would be marginly cheaper to buy a car complete then i would spend several thousands on it to get it to a half decent spec and it would still be able to pick holes in it.
This way i can build by dream car, with everything jsut the way i want it
Answer your question Mr McSnapper?

i am mate
i've only just brought one
its not very often a good 3dr shell comes up for sale, especially one as tidy as this.
I dont mind waiting for things.
I would rather wait and while and be happy in my decision. than rush into something and spend the next year regretting it and not enjoying driving it because of it
